Arc Asylum subframe

[ForcedFirebird]

Pics or details of the full fab subframe?

Looks exactly like the pics posted earlier by Tyler...

Just an update on parts.
Although I haven't been able to get a fully fabricated piece into production, the subframe modifications have been revised even more. They include much stronger sway bar mounts which place the bar on top of the new mount, between the frame rail for better clearance.

They are nice. Really beefy sway bar mounts, lots of gussets, quality welds as usual. Just got one in for a swap - along with headers and oil pan. His parts are really good quality.

What's the latest on full-fab subframes?

I spoke to him this week about my exhaust. It's definitely worth the wait - the pan, subframe, and headers I have from Tyler made the install super easy.

Communication with him seems satisfactory. He sometimes replies to you within minutes or takes days to reply back. Right now It seems that his powder coating guy is lagging thus mine and some other subframes are lagging. He was supposed to get things settled before the july 4th weekend but it seems like that's not going to happen. I will try to get a hold of him at the end of the week.

Did either of you guys Buy pans and cross-members from him or did you both ship your stuff to him to be modified.

I shipped my pan to him. I have not shipped my subframe yet, I havent had time to take it out. I am paying a core then when I get him my frame I will get it back.

Thanks for an update.

I understand busy, but I asked him if it was not going to be finished with powdercoat in a day to go ahead and ship it.

Just hoping he gets a minute to invoice me and ship it out.

I started an order with Tyler a couple of months ago and now have not heard from him in weeks after saying on a Saturday that it would ship on Monday. That was 2.5 weeks ago. And I am now missing races because I can't install my engine.

My only other options is get an e34 oil pan (Not ideal) or dry sump (Expensive).

Does anyone know of other options for a M54 swap and still keep the rear sump?

He is crazy busy, I spoke with him today, one man operation and had some powder coating issues. Not an excuse but he is definitely behind. I am hoping mine ships out this weekend.

Yes, I noticed your satisfaction before buying mine. In fact, it appears there are a lot of satisfied customers. I think his subframe is a great solution and we are lucky to have such an option. However, unfortunately my delivered oilpan had multiple issues wrong with it, along with many unfulfilled promises. He apologized, and even refunded me some of the money twice, but in the end, he basically walked away from it, and had me find a local welder to fix. Sure, we all have days when everything goes wrong, and my job was certainly it. But, I had nothing to do with it. Each time he screwed up, I kept my mouth shut, ever mindful that he is the only game in town. Anyway, he got fed up with it, and so now, I am basically on my own, and so I write this to warn others.

I'm not sure Tyler is doing m54 setups anymore. Given all the problems I encountered not sure I would recommend his stuff to others.

My M54 experience was very positive. He fabricated the oil pan to fit a modified subframe. He massaged a few sets of headers to fit. Everything fit like a glove with excellent workmanship and good communications.

I highly recommend!
